Tampa Company Named As One Of The Most Loved Workplaces
A Tampa company was named as one of the most loved workplaces in America. This report comes from Newsweek. Newsweek released their third annual list of America’s 100 most loved workplaces. The way they came up with a list is they surveyed more than 2 million employees. Additionally, they interviewed several hundred company officials about five key areas. Those areas were to see how employees feel about where they work. The Tampa based company that was named as one of the most loved workplaces is Datalink. They are a software company in Florida and only have 150 employees.
Also, Newsweek had some great things to say about Datalink. They say, “Team members at this medical information technology company love the level of collaboration here. The company holds frequent town halls, one-on-one meetings with leadership, check in sessions with HR and employee surveys. Employee feedback has led to increases in benefits and compensation, which is in the top 15% of the industry.”
The five key areas that Newsweek looked are: the level of collaboration at the firm and how positive workers are about their future at the company. Also, how much employer values align with employee values and respect at all levels and career achievement. They also looked at return-to-office policies, diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging and other workplace and talent development initiatives.

Why Does Location Matter?
Location plays a big part in how the date goes. Frankly, it sets the tone for the entire relationship and pretty much decides if it lasts one night or a lifetime. If you don’t believe us, just ask Reuben Feffer after Polly came along and took him to a Moroccan restaurant. You want to pick a place that you know gives the right signals to the date, but also doesn’t land you chilling in the friend zone either because nobody’s got time for that.
Another key ingredient for a first date is atmosphere. You want to pick a place that won’t make that awkward silence, awkward. Pick a place that has some background music, live bands or anything to lighten the mood when you first walk in. A corner booth in a dive bar is a bold move for a first date, but that could get weird real quick.
If you’re stressing about planning the first date, just remember you can always ask how much a polar bear weighs because it will be enough to break the ice.
